The Lenovo Yoga 10-inch tablet has a nifty kickstand and a terrible screen.

Lenovo added two tablets to its convertible Yoga line with the Yoga Tablet 8 and Yoga Tablet 10. Though they're aesthetically unique, with a design that features a rounded spine and kickstand, their identical internal specs, mediocre screens, and heavily modified operating systems prove less than exciting.

The Good

The <b>Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10’s</b> superslim, unique design makes it easy to hold. It’s also only $300.

The Bad

The tablet’s low-resolution screen looks fuzzy and oversaturated, and the heavily modified operating system is downright ugly.

The Bottom Line

Though it feels well-built and has a handy kickstand, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet’s poor performance makes it hard to justify even the low cost.

The tablets get their Yoga names thanks to a kickstand on the back of each device, which props them up on a flat surface to give you a variety of viewing angles. They don't, however, transform as much as other Yoga devices, since neither includes a keyboard.

At $250 for the 8-inch model and $300 for the 10-incher, the Yoga tablets are much cheaper than other tablets on the market. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for here, and that low price gets you an overall unimpressive tablet whose best feature is its long battery life.

Design and features
A major selling feature of the Yoga 10 is its sturdy and unique design. It looks a lot like an Apple Wireless Keyboard, with its thin body and cylindrical edge on one side.

Officially, it measures 10.3 inches wide by 7.1 inches tall and at it's thinnest point, it's just 0.12 inch deep. It also weighs only 1.3 pounds. It has a silver polycarbonate textured back cover that looks like metal and feels smooth.
